Should the commission pay from the fund any amount in settlement of a claim or toward satisfaction of a judgment against a licensed broker or salesperson, the license of the broker or salesperson must be automatically suspended upon the effective date of an order by the court as set forth herein authorizing payment from the fund. No such broker or salesperson may be granted reinstatement until having repaid in full, plus interest at the rate of four percent a year, the amount paid from the fund on that person‘s account. A discharge in bankruptcy does not relieve a person from the penalties and disabilities provided in this chapter.
